Entering the Strong Coupling Regime in Conventional Organic Solar Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Organic solar cells convert light into fossil‐free energy, yet they still cannot compete with their silicon counterparts. Strong exciton‐photon coupling can ameliorate some properties of organic solar cells, but it requires additional mirrors that diminish light absorbance. Here, mirror‐free strong exciton‐photon coupling is implemented in conventional

Thermal Expansion Behavior of PM6 Studied Using In Situ Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In organic photovoltaics, small morphological changes can significantly impact performance. This study examines the thermal expansion of PM6 using in situ WAXS and GIWAXS from 30 to 300 °C. By analyzing samples of increasing complexity, factors like initial anisotropic nanoscale arrangements and substrate mismatches are quantified, revealing systematic
